The Chameleon cloud

Hi guys,

Sorry for not posting here too often. I'd like to share with you an image of the Chameleon molecular cloud. Actually this is just a piece of the whole complex of Chameleon dark clouds. The image was obtained at my remote observatory in Atacama desert in Chile.:

http://www.atacamasky.com/chameleon_hr.jpg

Telescope: Takahashi FSQ106ED
Mount: ASA DDM60
Camera: SBIG STL-11000
Exposure: L:R:G:B = 1100:200:200:200 min

Enjoy and all your comments, critics, suggestions are highly appreciated !

Best regards,
Yuri

Unbelievable Yuri! You should post here more often. I know you probably have the best skies and most optimal conditions for imaging but I am in awe at the level of your processing skills. The best I've seen to date. Looking forward to many more shots please.

Lovely vista that Yuri, very reminiscent of the Corona Australis nebula area.

Tom Davis will be very proud of you

Can in add my praise to this wonderful image. The framing invites you to follow the cloud across the image. Wonderful!

A fantastic image Antu, please don't be shy and post more of your work.

What a fantastic place for an observatory setup as well. there's probably not too many places that can equal the seeing up there.

Brilliant Yuri.

I am not sure what this object is. Does it have an NGC number?
Or can you let us know the RA and Dec of it?

Thanks Humi.

How do these new objects keep coming up? There is so much stuff out there to image.

This is a beauty.
